Recent studies and observations have highlighted alarming climate trends, including a significant temperature anomaly of 38 degrees, the largest ever recorded on Earth, and changes in sea ice levels. Scientists have observed an exceptionally low year for sea ice, indicating a 'regime shift' and an 'abrupt critical transition' in Antarctica's sea ice. These changes are part of a broader context where the Earth has not yet reached the frequently discussed multi-year sustained 1.5C warming level. The decrease in Arctic Ocean ice has complex effects on marine ecosystems and ocean productivity. These findings underscore the urgent need to address the climate crisis, as the world experiences abrupt changes and mass ecosystem die-offs.
There are no more new words I can use to describe the current state of the climate crisis. The world is seeing abrupt change unlike anything it has seen in 66,000,000 years. Mass ecosystem die-offs, missing winters, sky-high sea surface temperatures are all becoming the norm. https://t.co/V1twGivKyl
Antarctica's coasts are becoming less icy, researchers find @PNASNews https://t.co/wJjTNLtPvH
“Scientists said another exceptionally low year was further evidence of a ‘regime shift,’ with new research indicating the continent’s sea ice has undergone an ‘abrupt critical transition.’” https://t.co/Q00AN6rk1E
“It’s not just sea ice…short-term weather changes have also drawn concern: ‘Temperature anomalies of 38 degrees…the largest temperature anomaly ever recorded on Earth.’” 🌡️🇦🇶 https://t.co/I3y17UUqK7
Less ice in the #ArcticOcean has complex effects on #marineEcosystems and ocean productivity, study finds @UniSouthDenmark @PNASNews https://t.co/0q8uy95IH6
Still important to note that the broader context of this is that Earth still hasn't reached the oft-discussed but frequently misunderstood *multi-year* sustained 1.5C warming level...yet. But even given that context, these recent numbers are remarkable & alarming. #ClimateChange https://t.co/VAErUvGa8g
